Correspondence.
The Association of Disciple Minis
ters" which convened here last week
was well attended, about seventy-five
members of the association being
present. The subjects for discussion
embraced wide field and called out
talent of high order. and the candor
and fair and liberal treatment charac-
teristic of the sect. We understand
that the participants enjoyed a rare,
rich aud most profitable intellectual
feast Contrary to the usual custom
other denominations were invited to
participate. The Methodists were rep
resented by Elder Locke, and the
Congrega,ionalists by DR.. Leavitt.
Elder Locke read an address on 1.-The
Wesleyan Reformation, TUESDAY eve-
ming. the reading of which was excel
lent, but the subject seemed to be lost
sight of, the speaker giving large
part of his time narrating his visit to
Oxford the youthful traits and love
affairs of John Wesley, and the glori-
fication of the Methodist Church as
founded by Wesley, which was repre-
sented as being the head and fountain
of all protestant churches, being the
parent of all reforms, religious and
political. 1t might be fairly presumed
that he worshipped at the shrine of
John Wesley, instead of Gods. He

Susanna Wesley added very material
ly in the production, and he was de-
formeq at that. Some of the audience
questioned i'll their minds, if it took
| God a thousand years, with the aid of
Susanna, to make Wesley, religious
.alot. as the Elder painted him, how
long would it take to make a philoso-
pher, or statesman, or a poet, or an
artist, without the aid of Susanna
and they were lost in contemplation.

Brutal murder with a Hatchet

CANTON, o., June 25-Some years
ago a man named John Fisher was
said to be the paramour of Mrs. Doll,
who lives at North Industry, q small
village six miles south of here. He
disappeared, however, but yesterday
her husband, Conrad Doll, found a
letter from Fisher compromising his
wife. A few minutes later. while she
and her son by her first husband were
sitting at the breakfast table, Conrad
Doll entered the room, armed with a
hatchet, and before any assistance
could arrive dispatched them both.
Mrs. Dolls head was cut open, while
her back had received fearful gashes.
The forehead of her son was beat in,
while his arm was almost severed from
his body.
The murder fled, evading capture.
Late the same day he stopped at farm
house, asking for food. and then asked
for an escort to the Jail in Canton,
where he was safely lodged that eve.

WHEN Senator Sherman was in the
South short time ago, he softly eooed:
"The war is over" In Illinois, he
loudly roared: 1.-The Confederate idea
ia still alive and about to destroy our
institutions"
TIE Philadelphia Ledger Ind
saws: "It is continually becoming
clearer and surer that Grover Cleve-
land as President of the United States
is strongly intrenched in the good will
of the people,"
GENERAL SHERMAN says that Mr..
Cleveland is President of the United
States by fair election of the people.
Judging from recent utterances of
"Brer" John, the Sherman house is
divided against itself.
THE New York Herald says: "Sen-
ator Sherman's great speech in Spring
field, Ill, will probably be the banana
peel of his political career. The future
will be accomplished in three move
ments-a slip up, a slip down and a
slip out"

Rloody Termination of a Feud.


MOREHEAD, KY June 23.-Craig
Tolliver is dead. and the reign of ter
ror which he had kept up for three
years is at an end The Rowan coun-
ty war originated in the election of
1884, at which time there was a split
in both tickets, aud among the Re
publicans elected was sheriff Hum
phrey, who waged bitter war sgaiust
the TolIiveE gang. but he tiually re-
signed and left. Then Tolliver assum-
ed command of the Democrats, and
blood flowed freely. A short time ago
the death penalty was decreed against
all the Logans in the county, and two
l. ,gan boys were murdered. The
Martin faction was long ago killed or
| driven out by the blood thirsty Tolli-
yer, most of the victims falling by his
| OWE hand. This open state OF despo-
tiSm led Sheriff Hogg to interview
the State authorities and quietly or
ganize band of men to exterminate
| the Tolliver faction. Wednesday morn
ing the little army, composed Of de-
| termined farmers and families banish-
ed by the desperado, surrounded the
town. Sheriff Hogg, at the head of
100 men, marched IN and demanded
the surrender of Craig Tolliver and
party, who barricaded themselves in
IN the hotel. Firing commenced and
was kept up for two hours, when the
besieged, seeing it was hopeless to stay
in the building, made break for the
woods But scarcely had they got
outside the door when three Tollivers
and another of the gang fell, pierced
by the bullets of a hundred rifles. The
tall form of Craig Tolliver, which
made him the general target, was rid
died so as to be scarcely recognizable.
Those who escaped the first fire only
rushed on the rifles of the Gordon sta.
toned entirely around the town.. All
were captured except three who escap-
ed in the brush. This brought the
battle to an end, and wiped out the
bloody faction which had murder
ed thirteen men and driven many good
citizens from the county.

THE alien land law of Illinois pro,
vides that after six years from the date
of its approval, no alien shall hold til
tie to land in that State. This law is
directed at those foreigners who would
start the system of big estates, rack

Ireland and Scotland. They have a
sample in Illinois where an Irish cap.
italist, of the landlord class. has be.
come the owner of immense tracts of
land, and is conducting it on the same
tenant plan that prevails in the south

of such law to all the States and

purchase of vast blocks of grazing land
by cattle syndicates.

1t appears this was not entirely un-
looked for, as Captain Hoehn has been
working in the vicinity of Alpena for
the past month. Having reliable in
formation that the men were in that
vicinity, the Captain visited Alpena,
but found the villains had gone. He
gave the officers the fullest description Ii
and photographs of the men. Thurs
day afternoon dispatch was received
from Sheriff Lynch, stating that the
men had returned to Alpena, and he
was instructed to organize posse and
capture them, Captain Hoehn and
Detective Reeves starting immediate
ly for that place. A special to the
Leader from Detroit says:
A dispatch received here from Alpe
ma late tonight, saying that three men
were arrested in that city today, sup
posed to be three of the Cleveland fur

which wounded the sheriff severely
